his immediate family, which consists of his wife, Zinetta; his two adult children and grandkids. “My clear inspiration came from the sweetest heart I have ever met, my loving wife Zinetta,” he said. “My family is my treasure. We have unconditional love and an infinite fount of love for one another. My sisters and brothers-in-law gave me unending support which has never wavered.” The motivation and timing of his retirement were fairly simple. “I have had to wake up to an alarm for too many years now; it is time to go.” He added that while many might have expected him “to die with his boots on” retirement has been in the works for a lot longer than most people knew. “Two and a half years ago I told the Executive Committee that I was planning to retire at the end of January 2020.” And while he is looking forward to sleeping in, he also quickly added that he is “not going to be a couch potato” leading one to suspect there may be another chapter in the Tom Nassif biography.
